The USB Extender Plus Series extends signals from USB peripheral devices located up to 330 feet away from the host computer using a single CATx cable. The transmitter includes USB peripheral emulation to enable trouble-free booting of a host computer that is not connected to a keyboard or mouse. For simplified integration, the receiver features a built-in, active four-port hub that supplies 5 volts, 500 mA on each port to power attached devices. The USB Extender Plus Series supports USB peripherals such as interactive whiteboards, keyboards, mice, mass storage devices, webcams, headsets and speakers, along with other USB devices in a wide variety of environments.
The transmitter features peripheral emulation to support uninterrupted communication between the host and the USB device, ensuring USB port recognition during system boot-up, even without a connected keyboard or mouse. Port LED indicators provide visual confirmation of system activity.
The USB Extender Plus Series is capable of transmitting USB signals long distances over a CATx twisted pair infrastructure. By enabling direct connection of USB peripherals to a remote host computer, installation of the USB Extender Plus eliminates the need for additional IP network drops, equipment, software, or drivers. This simplifies integration in Keyboard-Video-Mouse - KVM applications by avoiding IT-specific design criteria that may be in conflict with the need for KVM extension in professional AV installations.
Transmitters and Receivers are available in three form factors that can be mixed and matched for optimum integration flexibility. The compact, 1" quarter rack width metal enclosure is designed for desktop, under desk, lectern, or rack mounting. The USB Extender Plus AAP model fits into a double-space Architectural Adapter Plate - AAP opening, providing convenient and elegant architectural USB connectivity. The USB Extender Plus D is a Decora style wallplate that fits into a single-gang wall box.
